It occurred to me that it's been a week of contractors. Monday we had the air conditioning guy finally make it over to install a second vent in the bedroom. Now that he's done that, fall will be frosty cold. The handyman recaulked the bathtub (hopefully fixing the leak from the tub to the basement) and also fixed the kitchen sink leak. More on that leak another time. Today we had a third guy over to rip out the backwards insulation in the attic. He's not done, but he'll finish tomorrow morning.

Julian's sick. He was evicted from school yesterday afternoon (I picked him up after *I* left work sick) due to diarrhea. He's still not better, so it looks like he and I will have another day together. I got Gina's help today because I wasn't able to keep up with him, but I think I'll be able to manage him tomorrow. Let's hope.

I'll be going to bed soon. I was too awake to nap earlier, so I painted the downstairs room. Two coats, and it looks pretty nice. Now I'm tuckered enough to sleep. Just a little more mail checking, and I'll be through.
